Does anyone today hold the patent?

My name is Zack Tucker I am a researcher and have discovered 9 different forms of ways to run automobiles, Alterative to the main stream carbon based oil. I have presented my designs and engines to the Big car companies, Ford, GM Group, and Toyota, all sent me away saying, alterative energy sources where not in the public best interests right now. So, I have decided to manufacture my own car with my own designs on alterative energy sources. Tucker being my last I thought it would be cool to model my new cars after P. Tucker designs, since he to was shut down by the same companies who weren’t ready for something new. I hope you can help.

You know what might work, and be cost effective is to design and produce an engine that is made as a direct replacement on a popular 5-6 year old model I.E. Ford Taurs, Chevy Impala That way someone with either a tired or dead engine can be back on the road with a reliable, cost effective engine. Include a cool badge for the car for those envionmental, tree huggin,birkenstock wearing group, so thay can show the world how much better thay are than everyone else. Oyea please build one for me so I wont have to pay 3.06 a gallon for my 100+ mile a day work car.

The Tucker name is available for anyone to use, as the original corporation is no longer around. maineman has the best idea for starting out. The difficulties of complying with various safety regulations drive the cost of starting up a new company to exceedingly high levels, whereas dropping an improved engine into a modern design is next to nothing by comparison. (Put a "Powered by Tucker" badge on the car, so that folks know it has a special engine.)

I'd certainly be interested in whatever you've come up with.
